If platform portability is desired why not use QT? I believe there are ports to both Linux and Windows (including CE).

A widget library does not a crossplatform development environment make. Particularly since you need to do audio processing, tradiitonally one of the least portable parts of UNIX programming (even from unix to unix). Doing a simple 100% native GUI using whatever widget set is most popular on a given platform is nothing compared to handling audio in a reasonable way. Plus, some of the good compression libraries seem to be windows-only right now. If the goal is to provide secure communications to as many people as possible, a wince encrypted msn messenger + voice chat system seems best. Actually, you might just be able to do ipsec on the ppp link between the two machines, and then use 100% pre-existing microsoft wince software, to do it -- I don't know if they have an IPsec implementation for the wince platform yet.
